Report: Packers expect Graham to return for 2019 season

The Green Bay Packers are entering the offseason with the belief that tight end Jimmy Graham will return for the 2019 season, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Graham, 32, will reportedly receive a $5-million roster bonus on March 15 if he's back with the team.

It's been speculated that Graham could be released after underperforming in the first season of his three-year, $30-million contract. The five-time Pro Bowler caught 55 passes for 636 yards and two touchdowns, admitting in mid-December that he was disappointed in his output in Green Bay.

If the Packers release Graham, it would save them $5.3 million in cap space and leave $7.3 million in dead cap, according to Spotrac.
